MCCLUNG, Of Butler. SAMUEL A. LESLIE, Of Middlesex twp. MARCH 37th. Nearly all the districts of the countj were represented at the meeting of the Republican County Committee last Sat urday afternoon, and Chairman McFar land thanked them for their good work of last Fall, and said that he had called the Committee together for the purpose of fixing the time for the primary, and also for such other business as might come before it. John "Weigle moved that Saturday, the 27th of March be fixed as the time for the primaries this year, and his mo tion was seconded and supported by M. B. Mcßride, N. C. McCullough, G. W. Cooper and Dr. Showalter; while C. M. Brown, C. H. Book and E. S. Milligan plead for more time. An aye and nay vote was taken and the ayes won; and so, on Saturday, the 27th inst, from 1 to 7 P. M., the Repub licans of the county will vote their choice for Congressman, Jury Com missioner, Delegates to the State Con vention and County Committeemen. Then John Womer of Allegheny twp. offered the following resolution with the request that a committee of three be appointed to present it to the next County Committee. Resolved, That by reason of its prox imity to the Sabbat ii, Saturday is not a convenient or proper day of the week in which to hold the Republican Primary Elections as has been done heretofore; and we do therefore recommend that hereafter all Republican Primary Elec tions be held on Tuesday of the proper week and the convention of delegates on the Thursday following. This was agreed to and the Chair ap pointed Messrs Womer, Weigl and Brown as that committee. C. M. Brown moved a vote of thanks journed. Several candidates were in town and some announcements appear at the head of this column. A Precious Scheme. It was to be expected that the de struction of the State capitol at Harris burg and the consequent necessity for the construction of a new building would be "improved" to the utmost extent by the thrifty politicians. No body need be surprised, therefore, to learn that it is now proposed that the Legislature shall create a commission to consist of a dozen or more members a majority of whom are to be members of the Legislature to be charged with the construction of a new capitol-build ing and the reconstruction of the build ing now occupied by the executive de partments. Some such proposition as this was to be looked for, and if there is not a prompt and vigorous popular protest against it we may expect to see it carried out. Such a scheme will involve, not only a great waste of money at a time when the public revenue will hardly meet the necessary expenditures of the State but it will be almost certain to result in a disgraceful public scandal. For a vivid illurstration of what is likely to come from the creation of a Building Com mission of this nature we have only to look at Philadelphia, where for the last quarter of a centnry a body of that kind has been building a City hall at a cost of more than twenty million dol lars to the tax-payers. Even the Leg islature found it unable to put an end to that Commission a few years ago, and so that self-perpetuating body goes on with its unending task of spending ! public money for the benefit of favorite contractors. The people of the State have seen enough of this kind of politi cal folly—to give it the mildest possible name—and they want no repetition of it at Harrisburg. The fact is there is not the slightest excuse for creating a single new officer to look after the erection of a new State capitol. The Commissioners of Public Buildings and Grounds, a body com prising the Governor, the Auditor Gen eral and the State Treasurer, are un doubtedly competent to attend to this work quite as well as any new Com mission can, and without any extra ex pense to the state. These are the ofti cers to whom the law naturally intrusts the work to be done, and they are likely to do that work quite as efficiently and more expeditiously than any new-fan gled Commission the Legislature will create. Not one of the officers named is eligible to re-election, and they would therefore have no interest in al lowing the work to drag Every business man in the State knows that an adequate and creditable new capitol can be erected for less than a million dollars and in time for the next Legislature. But every man of sense also knows that it is hopeless to expect the erection of such a building within that time or for that sum by a political Commission selected by the politicians who control the Legislature. It is gratifying to read that Governor Hastings is anxious to see the new capi tol built before the expiration of his term of office in 1801). If that report is well founded, he must oppose and de feat this precious political scheme for turning over the job to the nursing care of a political Commission.—Wells boro Agitator, OUR NEW PRESIDENT. THE TRIP TO WASHINGTON. All Canton turned out Monday even ing to see McKinley off for Washington. The train left the town about 7:30 P. M. and just befort it started McKinley ad dressed his fellow citizens as follows: "My neighbors and friends and fellow citizens —On the eve of departure to the seat of government, soon to assume the duties of an arduous responsibility, as as great as can devolve upon any man, nothing could give me greater pleasure than this farewell greeting—this evi dence of your friendship, sympathy and good will, and I am sure the' prayers of all the people with whom I have lived so long and whose confidence and esteem are dearer to me than any public hon ors. To all of us the future is as a seal ed book: but if I can, by official act or administration or utterance, in any de gree add to the prosperity of our belov ed country, and the comfort and well l>eingof our splendid citizenship. I will devote the best and most unselfish efforts of my life. "The assumption of the chief magis tracy is of such grave importance that partisanship cannot blind the judgment or accept any other considerations but for the public good of all, to every party and every section. With this thought uppermost in my mind, I reluctantly take leave of my friends and my neigh bors, cherishing in my heart the sweet est memories and tenderest thoughts of my old home —my home now and I trust my home hereafter, so long as I live. I thank you and bid you all good bye." The train reached the Union depot. Pittsburg, about 11:30 P. M. and was greeted by thousands of people there. No stop was made except to change engines and crews, and during the short stay McKinley made a short speech as follows: "Fellow citizens of Pittsburg: I thank you most warmly for your very cordial greeting, which is another way of ex pressing your confidence in. and love for the liest institutions of America.(cheers) All the people want is that which is the noblest, best and grandest, (cheers) All they want is the freest and widest op portunity for individual advancement iirirti at 1 1 r-nrjinn-nr. rrueersT 1 am assured by the presence of this great concourse of people in one of our great est industrial centers, that the confi dence of the Nation is still unimpaired, (great cheering) I am assured that I shall have your heartiest co-operation, your warmest sympathy and your very best wishes, (cheering long continued) I bid you a pleasant good night and again thank you for your kindness and interest." The train stopped at Altoona at 3:10 A. M. and at Harrisburg at 6:45. At York. McKinley was up and returned the greetings of the crowd which sur rounded the train, and from there to Washington he greeted crowds at every station but made no speeches. Wash ington was reached at 11 A. M. and he was driven to the Ebbitt House. McKinley dined with Cleveland, Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning C. N. Bliss of New York accepted the Interior and that finishes the Cabinet —McCook hav ing declined. McKinley was in the best of health; the program for the in auguration was made public; General Porter will head the parade; that even ing Mr. and Mrs. McKinley dined with John Hay. Rebecca B. Chambers, of the Nation al Anti-Treating Society, has drafted a bill which is to be presented to the State Legislature, making it unlawful for any person to purchase for, or give to another person, any spirituous, malt liquor in any saloon, bar room or club room, where the same is kept for sale, and also for any person to accept any liquors under any of the above circum stances. FAIR VIEW. The series of union meetings held by the U. P. and the Presbyterian denonii nations came to a close. There were twenty-four in all who made a start in the christian course. Each one joined the church of their own choice, they are nearly evenly divided in their choice. Last Wednesday night the house of A L.. Stoughton was consumed by lire. They had all gone to Petrolia to church, shut up their house and left the gas burning and consequently their house and furniture were consumed. He has already made a start to erect a new house on the same grounds, the site is handy to his oil wells. Thomas Hays and wife, of the Hotel Waverlv. Butler, Pa., came up to spend a few days at their old home with their friends. Mrs. John Forker. of Chicora. was visiting her mother, Mrs. .1. Wammock, from last Friday until Sunday night. Rev. C. F. Alshouse, the new German Reformed Minister installed here, has moved into the parsonage vacated by the Rev. S. H. Garner. Mr. Alshouse is very highly thought of so far in his new field of labor. At the home of G. M. Duffy, a citizen of our town, here there is a little orphan l>oy 5 years old. that he would like to find a good home for. The boy's father died last December and left more on the hands of Mr. Duffy than he feels able to take care of. For further par ticulars address G. M. Duffy, Baldwin, Butler Co,, Pa. M. S. Ray on Monday attended tho funeral of Mrs. Ray's brother. .Tas. Campbell, buried at Concord Church grave yard. Mrs. <3. W.

SANGUILLY was released from his prison at Havana list Friday, and the Spanish Government has promised to inv 'stignle the death of Dr. Ruiz. THE spirit < 1' Thermopylae is again alive in Greece. WASHINGTON NOTES. The Senate indulged in a novelty last Sunday; it held a session that day, and the galleries were Quite a ntimber of bills- were discnssed during the day and some appropriation bills passed. On Wednesday of last week, the President's appointment of J. M. White to be Post Master at Evans City for four years was confirmed. The war fever dominated the Senate, last Thursday: the conduct of the war in Cuba by the Spaniards and their treatment of American citizens was de bated and the galleries were demonstra tive: and in the House a war resolution was introduced. The fifty-fourth Congress, which ex pired at noon to-day, will be held re markable principally for what it has failed to accomplish. In the number of bills and resolutions introduced it was a record breaker. In the House alone over 10,4iMl bills and 3,100 resolutions were introduced and referred to com mittees. Only a fraction of these pass ed the House, anil fewer still became laws. The principal business, aside from the passage of appropriation bills, was limited to the tirst session, the net results of which were the enactment in to law of the bills creating the commis sion to determine the true line between Venezuela and British Guiana; prohib iting prize fighting in the territories; permitting appointments in the army and navy of former United States offi cers who served in the rebellion; mak ing one year s residence in a territory necessary for a divorce; incorporating the National Society of the Daughters of the Revolution; defining the penalty for interference with railroad trains and persons riding thereon and substi tuting salaries for fees to United States marshals and district attorneys. Aside from the foregoing measures the re maining bills, excepting the immigra tion bill and the joint resolution for a monetary conference, were of no gener al interest. This Congress was also re markable for its failure to pass a single bill jirovidina for publi" The House calendar contained 100 bills of this class, including the Senate bill for a custom house in New York city. Speaker Reed, however, in his determ ination to reduce the expenditures to the lowest limit consistent with the necessities of the government, set his face sternly against all legislation of this kind. Notwithstanding, the pre sent Congress is the third in American history in which the appropriations have exceeded a billion dollars. The investigation now being conduct ed by the Senate Committee on Public Lands may lead to a scandal involving Mr. Cleveland, although every patriotic American will hope not. The investi gation is of a land patent recently issu ed by Secretary Francis to Mr. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's step-father, and his associates. The patent covers 23,000 acres of land iu Florida, and if it has been legally issued the present occu pants of the land will have to move or to make terms with Mr. Perrine. The original grant of this land was made to Dr. Perrine, father of the present Mr. Perrine, and his associates, in 1841, and the contention of the settlers 011 the land, who are represented by ex-Con gressman Brookshire, of Indiana, is that it was forfeited by failure to oc cupy it within the legal limit. The odd part of the issuing of this land patent is the manner in which it has been hurried along since Mr. Francis became Secretary of the Interior, and the ap parent anxiety of Assistant Attorney- General Lionberger, who was put in of fice by Secretary Francis, to get the patent issued for the land before the close of the present Administration. The Committee may find the transac tion all right, and that the relationship of Mr. Perrine to Mr. Cleveland has not figured in the matter at all, but there is a lot of ugly gossip about it just now, and it will probably get into court anyway. The "Smart Alecks" who have l>een industriously circulating reports as to the intention of the House Committee on Coinage to smother the Senate bill authorizing President McKinley to ap point delegates to any international monetary conference called by any other nation, or to be called by himself if in bis discretion he sees fit to call it, got a knockdown blow when that Com inittee reported the bill favorably to the House with two amendments, one broadening the authority of the Presi dent by authorizing him, if he sees fit, to appoint one or more special commis sioners or envoys to negotiate with other nations for the calling of such a conference, and the other repealing the Act of 1805 for the same purpose, so as to prevent any complications that might arise from two acts on the same subject. 011 Tuesday, President Cleveland sent to the House af Representatives his message vetoing the bill to restrict immigration. It is a long message and concludes as follows: "A care Till examination of this bill has convinced me that for the reasons given and others not specifically stated its provisions are unnecessarily harsh and oppressive, and that its defects in construction would cause vexation and its operation would result in harm to our citizens," THE Spanish government is giving American concerns immense contracts for barbed wire to be used in building trochas against the insurgents across the island of Cuba. Fencing in the enemy is a new phase in warfare. If Texas was the "lone star" Cuba is the neglected star. We hope the incom ing administration will endeavor to purge America of Spain's medieval tyranny. POLITICAL. At the meeting of the Republican County Committee of Lawrence county in New Castle, last Saturday. "By resolution it was decided that Hon. Thomas \V. Phillips be declared by the County Committee as the choice of the county for Congress for the uu expired tenn of Hon. James J. David- j son. This means that Mr Phillips will not be obliged to announce his name or , l»e balloted for at the primaries. This is the first time this was ever done in the district." The Committee decided to adopt the Baker ballot for their coming primary which was tixed for April 17th. 1 to 7:30 ( P. M. That county elects its Sheriff and Jury Commissioners this year. Armstrong county has five Republi- j can candidates for Sheriff. Their pri mary will lie held on May Bth Referred to McKinley. A revenue sufficient for the needs of the Government, economically admin istered; An honest tariff; A foreign policy consistent and vigor ; ous, compelling respect abroad and inspiring confidence at home: The revivification of general business prosperity. HARRISBURG NOTES. The bill prohibiting the manufacture and sale of cigarettes in this State pass ed the House finally, last week. Senator Anderson has introduced a compulsory voting bill in the State Sen ate. It is provided that a delinquent voter shall l>e fined $5 for each offence, unless he can show he was unable by reason of sickness or absence from the city to vote. The adjudged guilty vot er shall have his property, to the ex tent of £IOO, exempt from liability for the fine. The fines thus collected are to go to the public school funds. While erecting a modest building at Harrisburg for the decent accommoda tion of the legislature, it might be well to consider the propriety of providing also appropriate rooms for the Supreme Court and a change in the law which would require it to sit there and no place else. If this were done, and a law library worthy of the State gather ed up for its convenience and that of the lawyers, it would make Harrisburg a eapitol indeed, and when attorneys and suitors got into the habit of going to the one place alone, they would. find it far better arrangement than the pre sent one. The judges might then make themselves comfortable with their families for the entire year with every convenience for the projier performance of their duties. There would be a gen eral facilitation of business and fewer vexatious delays The next fight on hand will be for State Treasurer and Auditor-General. Both factions are already at work in many counties lining up their forces for the primary elections. Senator J. P. S. Gobin, of Lebanon, will be an aspirant for Auditor-General. A convention of the School Superin tendents of Pennsylvania will meet in Harrisburg nest Wednesday, to discuss legislation. The State Association of School Directors, which met there a few davs ago, passed a resolution indorsing State Superintendent Schaef fer for re-appointment: but it was with drawn at the request of Dr, Schaeffer, who said he did not want the Associa tion to mix in politics. Resolutions were adopted indorsing a number of bills that have been presented to the Legislature, mention of which has been made, and praying the Legislature against any reduction in the State ap propriation. . There is not much show for re appor tionment this session. An attempt may bo made to re-arrange the Senatorial districts at least, but when i t is made there will be trouble. To make a con stitutional apportionment will mean a loss of representation in a nnmber of parts of the State and several Senators will lost; their seats. The Senators thus affected will naturally use all their ef forts to defeat such a measure. SLIPPERY ROCK. .On Tuesday of last week occurred the death of Mrs. Richard Critchlow, for many years a resident of this township. The funeral services were held 011 Thursday afternoon. A husband, two sons and four daughters are left to mourn her loss. Since Glutton Bros, disposed of their drugstore to Campbell & Co., H. F. Mitchell has taken charge of the tele graph office in this place. Sirs. John McCoy, mother of Robert McCoy, died on Monday afternoon. Mr. C.

Mrs. Martha Bard died February 23. after a brief illness caused by heart trouble. The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon by Rev, Edmundson, The Cooperstown Institute. The Institute at Coopestown last Sat urday was held in Ekas' Hall, and the hall was crowded. Thomas McMillan, Esq. presided and Lulu McCafferty was Secretary. Miss Graham and her class and Mrs. Bowman furnished pleasing music, and Nannie McCafferty, Nellie McMillan and others recited some ap propriate pieces. Dr. Stepp addressed the audience on hygene, and Prof. Cheseman on spelling and teaching. The ladies < ' the vicinity furnished an excellent dinner in the Hall, and everybody enjoyed themselves.

GALLAGHER At Irs home near | Thorn Hill, Pa . February 22. 1897. j Samuel Gallagher, formerly of Mud dycreek twp.. aged about 70vears. We first knew him as a member of that famous assembly known as "The Oak Grove Literary Society." twenty years ago. At that time he was in the full prime of physical and mental man hood. and majestic in appearance, over six feet in height, and of a form that indicated agility as well as strength, his well raised forehead, shaded with masses of dark hair expressed uncom mon capacity, his eyes were large, dark full of ardor and animation, his face was rugged and well formed, and his countenance strikingly interesting. Though born injati humble station of life the originality of his genius, the energy of his language, and the richness of his imagination, merited the gratitude as well as the admiration of his friends. Like his native and lonely hills, he was subject to every blast, and exposed naked and bare to every tempest, he was an elevated point round which the storm clung and gathered, a prominent rock, condemned by nature as it were, to endure the buffet tings of the surg(>; yet his rude splendor remained unin jured. Amidst the bitter waters of indigence and sorrow, of drudgery and neglect, the exertions of his mind soared to the highest pitch of intellectual greatness, and he produced those beautiful thoughts which will ever exist for our delight, and still heard by us in the lingering echoes of his stentorian voice as it is wafted from beyond the purple hills, now hushed in the vale of death. His mind was fraught with indepen dence, magnanimity, and every manly virtue. He estimated his friends and associates at their proper value; no man had a quicker apprehension of right and wrong or a stronger sense of what was ridiculous and mean—chicanery or sordidness never appeared in his conduct —even in the midst of distress, while his feeling heart sunk under the secret consciousness of indigence, and the ap prehensions of absolute want, he bore nimself loftily to the world, he died poor but not in debt, he was the true representation of a perfectly natural man.
